Walleye fishing was excellent through the past weekend (as of 4/4/12). Anglers trolling around the reefs and outer buoys of the Camp Perry firing range have had success with crankbaits in the top 15’ of water; deep husky jerks, deep rogues, and reef runners 20-60’ back at 1.0-1.5 miles per hour are working best. Jig fishing has also been good along the shoreline from Davis-Besse to Turtle Creek and on some of the reefs in the Camp Perry firing range.

Yellow perch are being caught around Marblehead.
